THE WORK OF THE ARTIST WANG ANI (WÁNGĀNYÌ) DURING THE PERIOD OF REFORMS IN CHINA

Abstract

This article is devoted to the internal connection between gender and creativity, the concept of women's creativity and women's literature began to be promoted only in the midle of 1980s. The main reason is that some writers began to raise women's issues and express women's views in their work. It was during these years that the writers themselves had an ambiguous approach to the question of the existence of “women's literature”. Some writers did not want to emphasize their gender identity, while denying the existence of the direction of “women's literature”. Belonging to “women's literature” leads to contempt for their creative abilities. But the penetration of modern Western feminism into the literature, the growing creative experience of women writers led to a radical change in the attitude of literary circles to the concept of women's literature. The representative of the second group, i.e. “educated youth” is the famous writer Wang Anyi.
